Comment
Obverse and reverse varieties exist, also struck in copper.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 6 Pence (Middlesex - London / Charing Cross) ND (1811) from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time when there was a shortage of small denomination coins in circulation, and private companies and individuals were allowed to issue their own tokens to fill the gap. This coin, made of silver and weighing 2g, is an example of one such token, issued by a company in London.
